 I am a complete newbie when it comes to programming. I have been learning
Python with "Sam's teach yourself Python in 24 hours". Here's my
question....When I type the helloworld.py program in Notepad and then try to
run it from Command Line, I get a flash of something that looks like a DOS
window, is this supposed to be the program?

It works fine for me at the DOS command prompt. What you describe sounds
like you're clicking the filename in windows explorer.
